Instructions: how to make a phosphor with your own hands

Undoubtedly, all new attractive and alluring.Today, the use of elements of light-accumulating energy, the so-called phosphors, is becoming more and more popular. Such elements are actively used on signs in settlements, on road markings, etc., they are increasingly used in interiors, highlighting certain objects or whole expositions. Naturally, many have a question about what a phosphor is.

Phosphor - special chemical composition,having light accumulative memory. Light is absorbed from the environment and is released as light energy under darkening conditions. Phosphors in finished form exist in nature. By classification, they are organic and inorganic origin. If you have the necessary substances, you can prepare the phosphor with your own hands.

В производстве и быту чаще применяются photoluminophores. They do not dissolve in water, they tolerate ultraviolet light perfectly, they do not emit harmful fumes and radiation. Phosphors of this type are fireproof, easy to use and operate. Glow emitted by such preparations is retained during the day. Of course, interested users are wondering about where to buy the phosphor. Phosphors of the required color can be purchased from suppliers of various industrial products, or in specialized online stores.

Светоотражающие краски обладают неограниченной scope of application, ranging from the art of body art to interior design and tuning cars. Following the fashion, of course, many will try to decorate the surrounding objects with interesting glow, trying to make a phosphor with their own hands. Theoretically this is possible. The main thing is to choose the proportions of consumables and create optimal conditions for chemical reaction.

In order to make the phosphor with your own hands, you must have boric acid and coniferous concentrate available.

In order to have a result, all elementsmust be taken in pure form without impurities. They can be purchased in the right quantities in pharmacies. The concentrate is dissolved in pure water in the ratio of 1 g per 50 ml. It is possible to determine that there is enough coniferous concentrate by color - it should be bright yellow. Separately, it is necessary to weigh the same norms of boric acid, approximately 2 grams. This can be done with the help of scales or a teaspoon.

На заранее подготовленную пластинку алюминия a portion of boric acid is applied, mixed with coniferous solution (10 drops.), aligned with the surface (approximately, the layer of the mixture should be about 2-3 mm). The plate is placed on the tile for warming up. It is important that the water is completely evaporated; the bubbles that form are to be punctured carefully using a needle. A luminophore thus made with its own hands after complete solidification will glow in the dark.

Here is one method of manufacture.phosphor. In fact, there are about a dozen recipes, some of them are a complex technological process that requires special equipment and conditions.
